"Queer joy belongs everywhere"
A queer photographer documents nightlife, drag culture, and chosen family in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, revealing a thriving LGBTQ+ community and challenging assumptions about where queer joy can exist in small-town America. Winning 'Best Documentary' awards from Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival, Red Rose Film Festival, and Appalachian Queer Film Festival, the short film serves as a proof-of-concept that's currently in the works.
